Since 7 years I was working on EAD and now I am thinking to convert into H1B , since I am planning to get separated from spouse.(my GC process is dependent on my spouse).
I was not on H1B before.
Q1: Once I get my H1B, will my EAD gets revoked or can I maintain both H1B as well as EAD?
Q2: If I get divorced, will by EAD status becomes invalid from the day1 after divorce?

I have my old employer visa and I-94 valid till mid next year. My new employer had filed a H1 extension with CSC which was denied but I got a H1 approval notice without I-94 stub. I was told by my attorney to go to canada and get a new I-94 card as I have a visa stamped which expires july of 2011. Being in west coast, I was planning to go to vancouver. Any one been through this, please post your experiences.
Thanks

Hello folks !
Let me present my case before you all.
I came to US on H1B visa in 2004 and then my previous visa expired in 2006 and I have extended that visa but do not have it stamped on my passport as because I have not left USA during this period.
Now, I have changed a job 3 montsh back and my new employer is doing the H1B transfer which is in process. I have received the "receipt number" but yet to get the documents back from USCIS.
At this time, is it possible for me to switch to another job without having the papers from USCIS on the basis of the receipt number alone ? Or do I wait for the papers to come back from USCIS before I can think of switching another job ?
An early response is appreciated...
Thanks

Yesterday I e-filed my EAD and AP renewal for me and my wife but I think I may have messed up a little.
1) I forgot to save the confirmation receipt( pdf) from me and now I cannot get it anywhere. I did it save it for my wife. I belive I need this along with the supporting documents. How Can I request the confirmation receipt from USCIS
2) I did not find any instructions come up for the list of supporting documents that need to be sent. Should I send the supporting documents (based on what I saw on this site) anyways?
Hi,
You can email to E-Filing.Support@dhs.gov requesting the receipt notice in pdf format. I had the same situation and i emailed the above Id and got receipt notice (pdf) in 48hrs. BTW in the email give your receipt number.
Thanks,

I'm not a Guru in Immigration Matters...still from my experience USCIS is pretty random in some cases with online statuses.
I think I just told you what you know already, but reminding you that you are not alone.
Any updates gurus?

You are contradicting your statement - " H1 extension with CSC which was denied but I got a H1 approval notice", you say extension is denied but got approval notice. Approval for? Anyways, you have to ask the airlines to take the I-94, so that you can get a new one. Usually if you are going to Canada for less than 30 days they say that they will not take it. Either ask the airlines to take it or else when entering US explain ur situation to the IO and ask him to issue a new I-94. Hope this helps.

"THIS IS NOT A COMPLEX SITUATION" - Consider changing the subject.
Absolutely, she can go for stamping in India with your H1B approval and get it stamped. If she were in US, based on your H1B approval she will get an Dependent approval notice and a new I-94, she still needs H4 visa to travel.
If you file for H1B renewal in regular process it might take more time, so if you are in a hurry then go for Premium.

Hi All,
I got my COS from H4 to F1 approved in first semester itself (Fed-2010), now my questions is I don�t have plans for going to India in next couple of years so after completing my masters can I apply for OPT without having the F1 Visa stamping OR should I have to get F1 Visa stamping in India in order to get the OPT after my masters.
my wife got OPT based on COS from H4 to F1 (no stamping).

Before you come to know your dates are current, you will have 4-5 months to get the approved notice or more then that , during that time add your spouse name.
Once it is 485 is approved, then you have to wait for a while until you get Green Card to add your wife.

Cut Off Dates- Consulate General of the United States Mumbai, India (http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/cut_off_dates.html)
shows different dates for EB3 India.
May be typo ????
They copy china dates. They did the same thing last time. I think their program needs a fix. They will change it manually eventually. But in the meantime if you want to rejoice in hope feel free. I did that last month. I knew I was kidding myself but then thought, why not indulge myself.
Three years back I dreamt my labor got cleared. Labor mind you not GC.Even in my dreams I don't see that. I was delighted. I was aware I was dreaming(One of those lucid dreams) but I let it continue. It felt good for a while. This is the same thing. Have fun

A friend of mine is going through this and I am posting on his behalf while he is really stressing it out. Any help would be very much appreciated.
He got his H1B through this consulting firm last April in effect from Oct 01, 2008. He finished his masters here in the US in April. He made himself available to the employer and was searching for work all summer. His employer asked him to clear a few certifications in a field unfamiliar to him. My friend took certifications but also has been on a look out for any new opportunities given the tough market.
He recently found one and is looking to switch his H1B. Now that his current employer has found out about this, he totally freaked out threatening to cancel his H1B.
Things to note:
- My friend has not been paid by his current employer. So no pay-stubs what so ever
- He had signed a contract for 2 years and some ridiculous amount of money towards damages in case he leaves
What are his options now? What if the employer sends H1B cancellation before he gets to file a new petition through the new company? Can anyone please help?
Thank you

The most recent update from the USCIS is showing again a steady approval rate. The jump we saw in October was just due to a more current update of the approval, nit an increase in filing according to the USCIS. If this pace will continue we will see visas all through early 2010, but I may be wrong here...
Ao here is is the update from USCIS: As of November 6, 2009, approximately 54,700 H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) cap-subject petitions had been filed. USCIS has approved sufficient H1-B petitions for aliens with advanced degrees to meet the exemption of 20,000 from the fiscal year 2010 cap. Any H1-B petitions filed on behalf of an alien with an advanced degree will now count toward the general H1-B cap of 65,000. USCIS will continue to accept both cap-subject petitions and advanced degree petitions until a sufficient number of H-1B petitions have been received to reach the statutory limits, taking into account the fact that some of these petitions may be denied, revoked, or withdrawn.

I have a B1/B2 visa that I'm thinking about coverting into F1 visa when I get into the US I just have few questions:
1- How long does it take to convert the B1/B2 visa into an F1 visa?
2- If my visa gets converted into the F1 visa, does that mean my B1/B2 visa is cancelled and I have an F1 visa or what am I?
2- Will it be possible to leave the country for few months(after the conversion of my B1/B2 visa into the F1) and then return back to the US with ease to continue my studies ?
Thank you very much for answering!!!
1. It takes 3-6 months to change STATUS from B-2 to F-1;
2. Your visa does not get "converted". Your status changes to F-1 if approved. In your passport you will still have a B-2 visa.
3. If you leave the country after changed status to F-1, you need to go for F-1 Visa stamp in order for you to comeback and continue studies. Risk of not getting F-1 stamp is high for those who changed status to F-1 while in U.S. I never left US after changing to F-1 because my attorney and my International Student advisor advised it was too risky to do so. This is because if US consulate denies issuing F-1 visa, the consulate my also cancel B-2 visa at the same time because both carry non-immigrant intent amongst other factors. You can't just leave for a "few months" and just comeback while studying on F-1. The F-1 visa and related I-20 documents specify how long the program of studies is and you should be attending every semester taking at least 12 credits each semester, with the exception of the last semester, in which you don't have to carry 12 credits as long as after the last semester your degree is granted.
Hope this helps. It is based on my own experience. Speak to an International Student Advisor at the school which you have selected for more details. Good luck.

Hello i am running in to issues of how to get address changed. To give you guys previews. We were residing in Chicago till July ending. In August we moved to CT as my wife got a new job there. But since my work location is in IL , I requested my employer whether its possible to work remotely and its ok by law. He said u can change ur residential address and there is no need to amend LCa/H1b as there is no change in work location in my case. Fine for now.
I recently visited CT DMV and requested for CT state license. They denied to me saying that i need a CT employer letter or My employer should issue letter to DMV stating my work location changed. Neither of these are going to happen. For now i have my license and Plate from IL itself. I can still continue to maintain but renewing Plates and Pollution test are pain being in CT any ideas please ?
I think it is just a heavyhandedness by DMV guys. Perhaps talking to the manager will help. Tell him that you wife lives in CT and you consider this as your home. There is nothing that you HAVE to live within xxx miles of your work place. If you live in CT, fly every Monday morning to IL, stay in a hotel at your own expenses, and return back on Friday, will that be illegal.

My wife is scheduled to appear for fingerprinting at 1 om a future scheduled date. However I learned from someone that she can go for the fingerprinting even earlier in the day and she will be fine. Is this true? Has anyone experienced this?
I have tried this when i went for my finger printing for my EAD. My interview was in afternoon and went around 8:30am and they did allow me.

no. Comp A cannot apply for H1 extension as the PERM labor is not held by them. What you can do is get an EAD and continue to work for Company A, but then Company A will have to take over the process using AC21

My case is similar too, my husband filed 485 for both of us on 29th June, we both have H1b. But on June 15th one H1b transfer was filed for me (dependent in 485) which was confirmed to us on June 22nd and I joined new company on June 26th.
But the whole transfer thing is not mentioned in 485 because we were not aware at time of filling forms (june 18th).
Is this going to create problem? do we need to send update/form to USCIS about this?
